Due to a shortage of train crew, we will be operating a reduced service on Christmas Eve with services finishing earlier than usual and multiple routes being impacted by disruption. Customers are advised to plan their journey and check before they travel. Customers with tickets dated 24th December can use their tickets on any Northern service on 22nd December & 23rd December.
Customers on the following routes are advised DO NOT TRAVEL on Sunday 24th December. All trains on these routes will be cancelled and replacement road transport will not be provided:
Lancaster - Morecambe - Heysham Port
Blackpool South - Colne
Wigan - Stalybridge
Clitheroe - Manchester Victoria
Manchester Victoria - Chester
Manchester Piccadilly - Chester via Altrincham
Manchester Piccadilly - Crewe

Unacceptable from Northern. Do passengers with tickets have a legal right for Northern to provide hotels or taxis?
I would imagine many people with a ticket dated 24 December will not be able to travel on 22 or 23 December instead. If people were able to travel to family members on 22 or 23 they probably would, rather than wait until Christmas Eve.
